About Us

The Medical Mycology Society of Nigeria, an interdisciplinary body with over seventy-two registered members focused on education, research and advocacy about fungal infections came into existence in April, 2017. With support from International Society For Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM), European Confederation of Medical Mycology (ECMM), UNITAID, Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) as well as sponsorship from pharmaceutical and diagnostic companies, the fledgling society successfully organized its first International Scientific Conference from the 10th to the 12th of April 2019 at the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) in Lagos, Nigeria. The theme was ‘Managing serious mycoses: circumventing challenges in a resource limited country’ and the event featured various speakers from within and outside Africa.
The Medical Mycology Society of Nigeria is notably affiliated with The International Society Of Human and Animal Mycology.
